IM injection in thigh

[Cmighty42]

So last night I pinned my thigh with some Test C, went smoothly except for a little post injection sweats and today my muscle right above the thigh is tender, sore and has a little toughness to the touch. Is this all normal? any replies are immensely appreciated.

Muscle soreness in virgin muscle that has never had an injection is normal. Post injection sweats is odd though. Where exactly did you inject your quad? I added a photo so you have a basic understanding of where you should pin your quad.

You’re fine probably, pip is normal.

Turn down your AC if you’re sweaty, don’t blame it on your injections.

What was the needle length and are your quads very lean?

Most likely subcutaneous leak like narta said. I had one recently in my quad and it was alarming, but not the first time so I knew it wasn’t an infection. As long as it’s not growing and you don’t have a fever then you’re fine. Mine was a cocktail sausage sized lump, took about 10 days to go away.

Yes my quads are very lean and I was using a 31 gauge needle. Should I go smaller?

31 is the gauge (thickness) of the needle, but not the length. Most 31g needles are 5/16 in length which would definitely cause a subq leak. You need at least 1/2 inch needles, and that would be shallow IM. 1 inch would definitely get it deep enough.

Edit: I’ll also add that you will not find a 31g 1/2 inch unless you go Luer lock. So look for 29g and larger gauges to get 1/2 to 1 inch needles. Plus pulling and pushing oil through a 31g is slow and time consuming

That’s a pretty neat link. I haven’t hit my tris yet and series 3 is where I’m thinking of pinning. But I doubt my biceps or calves are getting any action. That doesn’t sound fun at all. I’ve hit all the other sites already.

Do not recommend calves lol. Years ago (10+) I was an idiot that did winstrol suspension in my calf. Big mistake

Almost got enough nerve to try the thigh this morning with 100mg mast prop but not today didn’t get enough sleep to hold my nerve

Winny water based is no fun in any body part. I bet you had a hard time walking.

Any tips on recovery?!?! I’m having a hard time walking at the moment and it’s a little inflamed. No purple or pus or anything that signals infections.

Ice it not heat. Is there a knot/ball and is it hard or soft to the touch? Is it hot to the touch? Most Pip or muscle soreness clears up in a week. But if you have a fever go see your doctor.

It’s a little harder I guess mostly tender and no fever or anything like that I can’t even stretch it lol.
